When I saw the message header, I thought that it referred to Carter Air
Force Base, and, looking at the +20K length, I was sure that someone had
discovered a long-forgotten warehouse stuffed full of classic Big Iron
from times gone by...
But, LOL! Carburetors!
OT: From my street-racing days: the Javelin was not a bad little ride,
properly set up, and I drove a few of them competitively. Holleys were
always my first carb choice, Carters being 'okay' jugs, and then there
Rochesters... yuck, poo!
I'm also an ex-motor head. I used to run a Carter AFB on my 340 Plymouth
motor that I stuffed into a '52 MG TD. Wow! What a ride! But NOTHING beat
my 426 Hemi with dual AFBs that I had in my Plymouth Superbird! I've
slowed down a bit but I still have a '70 Dodge Challanger with a 440
Six-Pak sitting in the side yard.
